Bow ballerinas - sparkling black leather

Beautiful sparkling bow ballerinas from Gabor! A stylish and slender model, in shimmering black nubuck leather. The Hovercraft sole is pleasantly a bit thicker, making them feel wonderfully soft on the foot. Thanks to the slightly rounded toe box and the Gabor Best Fitting feature, there is plenty of room for the toes. Lovely ballerinas for everyday wear and celebrations!

Maria the merchant’s medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• A “flipper” shape, meaning the toes are almost equally long, with no pronounced curve at the toe line 😊
• A slightly rounded toe box suits best; very pointed shapes often don’t have enough room for Maria’s big toe
• Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
• In barefoot shoes, typically size 42, because there’s enough room for the toes
• Length of the longer foot 26.8 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Usually, size 43 with a G or H last from Gabor fits Maria’s foot well. However, this model was a surprise! Size 42.5 fit Maria’s foot like a glove despite the narrower F last. Size 43 felt too roomy. Ballerinas should fit the foot just right; too roomy ones don’t stay on. The rounded toe felt comfortable, and the soft material gave way in width. Lovely, soft, and beautiful shoes!
